the current code has changed include linux/inotify.h to sys/inotify.h since 2006-01-17, but that won't work with inotify*.h as documented in the wiki.
The wiki entry seems to create /usr/local/include/sys/inotify.h and it should be possible to include that as
. Maybe the real problem is that if you tried that, the /usr/local/include isn't in the standard include lookup paths. So you should do: CPPFLAGS='-I /usr/local/include' ./configure --with-notify=inotify
indeed, I spent a while to convince the autoconf to look that up, but then I realized the problem isn't the path, the test program always fails, simply because the new defs have been splitted in the 2 files mentioned in the wiki, the problem being that inotify.h doesn't #include inotify-syscalls.h on its own, and compile fails for undefined functions, eg inotify_add_watch(), which instead are defined in the single linux/inotify.h.
Perhaps such "#include
" should be in inotify.h, but I think those .h are older versions, since current in-kernel inotify.h is just that, all in one.
they old splitted headers were never meant to be used in the userspace. headers in /usr/include/linux/ are in general not meant for userspace apps.
